Up here, pre and post rut, the last ten minutes of the day. (can hunt till 1/2 hour after sunset and the last 10 min. of that time is awesome). Most start coming out around sundown but the last 10 min.is out of this world. During the rut, which is 3rd-4th week in Nov., you can see them all day and from any direction. The big boys are, as we call it, "are running stupid". Usually that time corresponds with the last few days of ML and the first few of rifle. Depending on weather and moon phasethe rut couldvary about a week earlier or a week later.
